Genesis has spent recent years teasing enthusiasts with striking grand-touring design studies. While previous concept cars assumed Genesis would follow the pure battery-electric trend, the X Gran Convertible and X Gran Coupe have told a different story. New details surfaced by automotive insider @allcarnews following an appearance at Genesis House in New York City confirm that the project is charging toward production. Backed by recent patent filings, the production model is slated for an official debut within the next two years, packing mid-600 horsepower, a G90-derived chassis, and a companion X Gran Coupe sibling.
1. Pure Combustion and Hybrid Muscle: Mid-600 Horsepower
Contrary to early industry assumptions surrounding luxury concept showcases, the X Gran Convertible was conceived around the emotional roar and range of internal combustion and performance hybrid power:
Target Output: Engineered to deliver performance in the mid-600 horsepower range (~650+ HP).
The Exhaust Hardware: Recent patent filings clearly showcase functional dual rectangular exhaust outlets integrated into the sculpted rear diffuser.
G90 Rear-Drive Underpinnings: Instead of using dedicated skateboard EV architecture like the GV90 SUV, the X Gran Convertible and Coupe are built on Genesis’s rear-wheel-drive flagship platform. This architecture accommodates high-output twin-turbo V6 power augmented by hybrid assist, giving Genesis a direct challenger to Europe’s most revered grand tourers.
2. Official Production Debut Within the Next Two Years
According to patent filings and industry details obtained by AllCarNews, the Genesis X Gran Convertible will officially make its production debut within the next two years.
Crucially, the grand tourer is arriving as a complete two-car offensive:
Genesis is preparing updated road-going styling for both the convertible and an X Gran Coupe hardtop.
Offering both open-top and fixed-roof silhouettes positions Genesis squarely against the Bentley Continental GT family and high-end GT coupes.

3. Interior Direction: Adopting the Refreshed G90 Cockpit
While the NYC Genesis House show car featured an experimental concept cockpit finished in a dark blue exterior with mint accents, the road-going models will adopt a cabin rooted in Genesis’s flagship executive sedan:
Instead of concept-only ergonomics, the production model will incorporate the updated interior debuting on the upcoming Genesis G90 facelift:
A seamless, ultra-wide connected display interface spanning the dashboard
Genesis’s latest Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) infotainment system
Flagship acoustic insulation, bespoke materials, and production-ready physical switchgear engineered for long-distance touring
4. Exploiting an Abandoned Luxury Segment
While competitors reduce their large grand tourer portfolios or struggle to convince purists with heavy EV sports cars, Genesis is seizing the opportunity. By combining classical front-engine, rear-drive GT proportions with genuine exhaust notes, mid-600 horsepower performance, and an ultra-luxurious G90 interior, Genesis is poised to dominate a segment legacy brands have largely abandoned. If the two-year timeline holds, the X Gran Convertible and Coupe will mark the ultimate statement of Genesis's design and performance ambitions.
